Roofing in Newark

Newark roofs take a beating. Heavy spring and fall precipitation seeps into any crack, and the freeze-thaw cycle widens it. Northeast nor'easters bring wind that peels shingles and ice that backs up under the edges. Summer humidity accelerates rot in the decking and decay in the flashing. We've seen it all on the brick rowhouses in the Central Ward and the brownstones in the North Ward. The flat roofs on those early 20th-century buildings are the worst — they pool water, and if the membrane is old, it delaminates. We fix that.

Our crews work on occupied buildings. That means we contain debris, we don't block driveways, and we schedule the tear-off for reasonable hours. For multi-family places like the post-war apartment buildings in the East Ward, we coordinate with the building manager so tenants aren't disrupted. We use self-adhered underlayment on the low slopes, ring-shank nails on the steep ones, and we stagger the courses so water can't find a straight seam. If your roof has granule loss or end-of-life wear, we'll tell you straight — sometimes a recover is enough, sometimes you need a full replacement. We don't sell work you don't need.
